Ottawa's Top 35 (May 24, 1986)

Today we're looking at the Top 35 songs in Ottawa on May 24, 1986 according to CFRA. We'll do this until early August. That's when CFRA changes formats away from Top 40 and stops the weekly charts (in July they become the Top 20).

The Stones spend this week only at #1 in Ottawa with "Harlem Shuffle".

Billy Ocean has the highest debut of the week at #28 with "There'll Be Sad Songs To Make You Cry".

A number of tracks on this week's chart move up 6 spots to gain the most spots. Those include Madonna (we saw her debut last week) from 33 to 27 and Patti LaBelle and Michael McDonald jump from 31 to 25 with "On My Own". But the third 6 spot jumper is a local Ottawa group so let's look at "Angel In My Pocket" by One To One.

And this week will be the last for Cats Can Fly who drop from 19 to 33 with "Flippin' To The A Side".

Ottawa's Top 35 (May 17, 1986)

Today we're looking at the Top 35 songs in Ottawa on May 17, 1986 according to CFRA. We'll do this until early August. That's when CFRA changes formats away from Top 40 and stops the weekly charts (in July they become the Top 20).

At number one this week in "The Power of Love" by Jennifer Rush.

Madonna has the highest debut this week at number 33 with "Live To Tell".

There is a tie for biggest gainer on the chart this week as Whitney Houston jumps 8 spots but so does Double with "The Caption of Her Heart". A song so great I don't have any memory of it whatsoever...

And this week we'll be saying goodbye to "Bop" by Dan Seals, the biggest dropper on the chart going from #14 to #29.

Retail workers often do not realize how strong their family and medical leave rights are in California.

Between FMLA and CFRA, employees have job-protected leave. But violations do not always look obvious. Sometimes it is reduced hours, negative reviews, or pressure from management.

If something feels wrong, trust that instinct. Document everything and take action early.
